Chatbox removed (Here's Why) and other changes

I loved the convenience and look of the chat boxes I've used, but on my end (and I'm sure many of yours), the website has just been taking too long to load! When I took it out, it took 30 seconds off the load time. I'll have to figure something else out in a way of communicating besides just post comments.

And, you may have noticed - or not, but I have added the option to rate each post. You don't have to sign in anyway or anything, just click on the star of your choice and the rating is automatically calculated without taking you from the page or affected loading of any kind.
